In Nambiar v. Central Orthopedic Group, et al., LCBF successfully defended a prestigious orthopedic practice group against claims of age and sex discrimination and relation brought by a physician and former employee of the practice. After highly contentious litigation, the District Court agreed with LCBF that defendants had legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons for the termination. LCBF also successfully obtained dismissal of the retaliation claim by proving that the defendants were not aware of Plaintiff’s EEOC complaint at the time of her termination. LCBF defended the matter through an appeal where the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the summary judgment decision at the District level. The LCBF team was headed by Tina Bhatt and Daniel Tarolli.
